which newspapers are most biased/impartialWhich newspapers would you regard as the most 'biased' (i.e. they clearly take a particular viewpoint on controversial issues or portray events from a certain angle) and the most impartial?

Re: which newspapers are most biased/impartialWell, the ones which have a party affiliation. The Guardian is heavily on the left, the Telgraph is on the right. The Times is centre-right although fairly independent as of late and the Independent is pretty independent (although some accuse it of being centre-left). Tabloids are extremeties of all these.(Original post by CasualSoul)
I'm just wondering -

Re: which newspapers are most biased/impartialLeast biased for news is the ft imo... The opinion is the pragmatic end of free market supporting.
The grauniad got pretty bad for editorialising the news but they might have pulled it back a bit.
Most biased 'the morning star' which they still stock in supermarkets in some parts of the country. -

The Times is known as the voice of record, ie the least biased paper covering all spectra of opinions.
OP, The Daily Mail and The Guardian are two heavily biased newspapers.

Re: which newspapers are most biased/impartialBiased and impartial have completely opposite meanings...(Original post by shirley7)
Some may say the Daily Mail and Daily Express are the most biased/impartial. I say they are the only ones that are accurate. -

Re: which newspapers are most biased/impartialMy bad. I copied and pasted the OP's title and meant to delete impartial.(Original post by Tateco)
Biased and impartial have completely opposite meanings...
